Ah, the search for the perfect home. It's a journey, my friends, and you've been on it for what feels like an eternity. But let me tell you, the end of that journey is in sight. Within the southern reaches of West Mt Airy adjacent to the Wissahickon Park, tree-lined Lincoln Drive snakes its way through dense parkland dotted with grand homes and estates. Beautiful historic architecture at every turn, one home prettier than the next. You can't help but fall for the storied neighborhood but you worry that you don't have the chops to restore or maintain the 100+ year-old homes so commonly associated with it. Behold 6619 Lincoln Drive, one of four detached homes built in 2019 comprising Lincoln Manors. Full of stately splendor on private, lush grounds but offering all the bells and whistles of new construction you thought didn't exist in Mt. Airy. Alas, it does. A handsome stone facade is a welcoming invitation and once inside, a grand, two-story foyer with a casement molding accent wall, a coat closet, and a powder room await. Through sliding doors at the top of the stairs, you glimpse a deck and sea of lush, green landscaping with a privacy fence. More on that later, you tell yourself as you attempt to quell your excitement. The living room boasts wide, white oak flooring and soaring ceilings and invite you to have a seat and relax. You admire the spacious open floor plan and the natural light that dances around the room, features often impossible to achieve in older homes. The kitchen is calling your name and it does not disappoint. White shaker custom cabinetry with matte black hardware, marbled subway tile, quartz countertops, and a farmhouse sink offers a classic design and a large waterfall island adds a modern touch suited for today's living. You can't help but smile as you think of entertaining family and friends in this space this summer. On the second floor find an en suite bedroom with a Juliet balcony that will have guests never wanting to leave, two additional bedrooms, a laundry room, and a hall bath with marble vanity, decorative tile flooring, and a deep soaking tub with herringbone subway tile surround. Now for the cherry on top. You head upstairs to the primary bedroom and imagine retreating here at the end of a long day. A true sanctuary, featuring vaulted beamed ceilings, walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath that rivals a 5-star hotel with a glass-enclosed shower and freestanding tub. Downstairs, the basement is completely finished with high ceilings and a full bath, adding additional living space. Home gym, office, art studio, guest room - the possibilities are endless. A one-car garage and a fenced-in yard bring the best parts of suburban living to the city. You love that Mt. Airy offers a vibrant residential community and an eclectic mix of restaurants, shops, and cafes and is served by two train lines. You're already picturing enjoying a morning latte and crepe from High Point Cafe, and Tuesday night Quizzo at Mt Airy Taproom. You've picked your cozy seat at the bar at the legendary local favorite, McMenamin's, and for date night, you're envisioning dining under the stars at Jansen. There are even 7 years remaining on the tax abatement. You truly didn't think a home like this existed here but you're so glad it does. Your search is over. Welcome home.
